IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD NOW.
I STUDY THEM.THEY'RE FASCINATING.
I THINK IT'S GREAT.
I THINK IT'S GREAT IF SOMEONEWANTS TO BE A DRAG QUEEN.
I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL
IF YOU WANT TO, LIKE,EXPRESS YOUR INNER WOMAN.
BUT WHY WITH DRAG QUEENS IS ITALWAYS THE SAME TYPE OF WOMAN?
LIKE, WHY IS IT ALWAYSLIKE A BIG AND BRASSY WOMAN
WITH, LIKE, A BEEHIVE HAIRDOAND ALLIGATOR-SKIN SHOES?
IT'S LIKE, "WHAT IS YOUR NOTIONOF A WOMAN BASED ON?
A HOUSEWIFEIN A 'FAR SIDE' CARTOON?"
[ LAUGHTER,CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
"WHY IS THAT WHAT YOU THINKFEMININITY IS?"
AND THEN THESE DRAG QUEENS,
THEY'LL GO OUT ON THE STREET,AND THEY'LL BULLY ME.
THEY WILL.
THEY'LL BE LIKE, "OH-HO, LOOKAT HIM IN HIS LITTLE SHIRT."
IT'S LIKE,"WHY ARE YOU MEAN?" YOU KNOW?
"WHY IS THAT PART OF IT FOR YOU?
"AND IT'S NOT LITTLE.IT'S A MEDIUM.
"SMALL IS LITTLE.
"YOU WENT THROUGH ALL THETROUBLE TO PUT ON A NICE DRESS,
AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA BE RUDEAND BOSSY TO PEOPLE?"
IT'S LIKE,
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR VERSIONOF A LADY IS A LOT LIKE?
"A GUY.
"YOU COULD HAVE STAYED A GUY
IF YOU WERE GONNA BEAN [BLEEP] ABOUT IT."
[ LAUGHTER,CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]YES.
